You will be reinforcing teaching and instructing the patient. Which basic principle of teaching should you follow?
Answer(s): A
You should sequence the instruction from the least complex to the most complex when reinforcing teaching and instructing the patient.For example, if you are instructing the patient about coughing and deep breathing, you should begin the instruction by demonstrating normal breathing, then deep breathing and finally combining deep breathing with coughing.You should not assume that the patient knows little or nothing about the topic, you should determine what they know. It is not necessary to have the patient call their significant other so you can instruct them; this is only necessary when the patient is not able to understand the instructions.Lastly, you should not use medically oriented terms and medical jargon, but instead, terms that the patient understands.

Which healthcare associated infection is the greatest risk for patients?
Answer(s): B
Catheter related infection is the most commonly occurring healthcare associated infection, therefore, these infections are the greatest risk for patients. For this reason, indwelling urinary catheters are used only when necessary and, then, they remain in place for the briefest period of time possible.Pneumonia, intravenous line catheters and C difficile are all healthcare associated infections, however, they do not occur as frequently as indwelling urinary catheters do.
